Dalriada School and The Royal School Armagh went head to head on Wednesday afternoon, at Roughfort, after winning their respective Pools in the Schools U16 Trophy

The first half was fairly one sided with Armagh enjoying what looked like 90% of territory and possession.

The Royal School battered away at the Dalriada line for the bulk of the opening quarter but were unable to break down the Dalriada defenders, who threw themselves, with some gusto, into every contact situation.

However, it was the Ballymoney side that were first to trouble the scoreboard, in their first visit into the Armagh 22, when a kick ahead was chased down by Andrew Radcliffe for Paddy Cramsie to pick up the loose ball and gleefully dive over the line for the opening score. The conversion was missed but Dalriada would be happy with their return on visits to the red zone.
